||REVIEW|| Alaffia Skin Recovery Face Set

Hey Guys!

In October, I received this face set in my My Shade of Brown Pillowbox [[post here]] and I have been hooked on it ever since! First of all, let me tell you about Alaffia as a company. They are all about "Advancing Gender Equality and Alleviating Poverty through the Fair Trade of Handcrafted Shea Butter" and they do so much for West African communities. It is amazing! Now onto the face products I've been using:







The set includes a cleanser, toner, and face cream.






Face Cream
Cleanser



Description: Deep, yet gentle cleanser, an oil balancing toner and powerful moisturizing cream. Neem oil, Neem leaf and tea tree oil help fight blemished and also prevent dry patches.


My Thoughts:

These are, honestly, miracle products! So, if you've been following my YouTube channel, you'll know that I've been trying out so many different skin care products and I just have not been having any luck with stopping my breakouts. I'd been hearing so many good things about African Black Soap and all of the ways it can be beneficial to your skin and I am now a believer! You guys have no idea how happy I am to share that I have not had any blemishes on my face in the last 1.5 weeks of the 2 weeks I've been using this set. When I first started this regimen, I did get a break out on my cheek, but I think that was just my face purging and I was going to get that break out anyway. After that, nothing else! I have run out of the toner which sucks because I do feel it's such an important part of the regimen and I have decided to get a full size of it. 

I do this regimen day and night and I have not used any other product on my skin. My skin looks brighter and more radiant [no lie!]. It hasn't lightened my acne scars or anything, but it doesn't claim that it'll do that. I love this. I'm sold. I will be buying this over & over again.

You can purchase this set, along with other types of products, on their website. It is a tad bit pricey[$38.50], but for the great way my skin has been looking, I will definitely pay for it!



Thanks For Reading!!

I never really saw the point of toner so I never use any. Is that bad? Also, I SWEAR by black soap now. Oh em gee! This time last year my face was horrible and nothing worked. I bought so many expensive products and wound up just giving them away. Then someone suggested black soap (I wish I remembered who so I could give them a big hug) so I had the Shea Moisture black soap shipped to me from Atlanta. (Yes, it's that real! I could NOT find it in New York.) I used it off and on but I never saw the results I wanted until I started using it consistently after my St. Ive's apricot scrub or with my Sigma tool. In addition to those I moisturize with Clean & Clear dual action moisturizer (it has salicylic acid) and I am in love. When I'm going outdoors I apply the Clean & Clear, allow it to absorb while I get dressed and then apply my Ambi SPF 30 and I've sooo been in love with my skin/face. Sorry for the novel but the adult acne struggle was TOO real for TOO long. What would you recommend for lightening the scars though? I do spot concealing or BB Cream but I want the option to go bare faced every day. Thank you for addressing this!
